This early 20th century photograph from our archive shows the junction of Overton Road and Uppingham Road, in Leicester, where F W Goodess had a chemist’s shop.

On the right is Sparrow Park and, on the left, was the Shaftesbury cinema.

A shop on Uppingham Road next to the chemist’s appears to have a large clock outside, along with an advert for Fry’s Chocolate.

Standing on the small island immediately in front of the chemist’s shop was a horse trough.

Readers’ recollections from years gone by tell us that the local newsagent, who was called Dickie Timson and who had a shop further along Overton Road, used to stand on this small island selling both the Leicester Evening Mail, the Leicester Mercury and the sports paper on Saturdays.
